Seems like no, or almost no backing tracks on this run-- YYAAAYYY

JP sounds good, he should sing more, and so should the other guys

BLISTEREEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH...NG.

JP's pretty voice reeeeeeally doesn't have the power or aggression to pull off that chorus in CM. Aside from that, JLB carried it pretty well considering. I thought the back and forth section would be too wordy with just JLB, but it worked alright. And MM did a great job on the drums, very faithful to the original. Seeing the man move during the instrumental section especially is a reminder of just how cool those original drum parts were.

I'd really love the hear that song again if the band makes their way back to Oz (Wither too).

Yeah this is pretty much what I thought watching that video as well. JP doesn't sound bad on the chorus, his voice is just very clean with less attitude than MP, so it doesn't work quite as well in that section. But, I'd much rather JP sing (if he is comfortable doing so) then have them using backing tracks, so I'm cool with it!

And yea, JLB actually pulled that second verse off really well, if I had never heard the studio version before, I would have thought that's just the way the song was written and wouldn't have thought twice about it. MM was rocking on that song too! Great performance!

All videos from Katowice, show in Czech was definietly better for me (better sound, members performance, James said in Prague (they'll return to play prog on new album) I was in the first row at both shows on against JP (as almost always

I'd rather JP sing it live than have JLB backing tracks too, even if it's not perfect, so I'm enjoying these clips.

I just checked out the clips of Panic Attack and About to Crash, both sounding excellent.

Man, the way they handled Constant Motion is fantastic. The verse I mean. James pulls it off fantastically and makes it sound effortless. I can't wait to hear his take on A Nightmare to Remember and Prophets of War.

The chorus, however...lol they really need to distort and increase the volume of John's mic

Yeah it was great, and i was really suprised, It is a pity that in another part didn't sing "Apocalyptic James LaBrie!!!''
